How I Met My German Girlfriend 

During my military time in Germany in the early 60's, I spent much time as a regular on the Stammtisch in a local Gasthaus. Here I met an older German man and his daughter and her boyfriend who would occasionally drop in. One night, this young couple had an attractive young German woman with them. Unfortunately, she was sitting across the table and we did not have much chance to converse. As luck would have it, a few weeks later I ran across my German acquaintances at the annual town festival in Darmstadt and this young lady was with them.. We ended up in the beer tent for well into the evening. My friends had to call it an evening, but I invited the young lady out for coffee at the rest stop o the Autobahn ( it was the only place open at 3 AM ).That was July of 1964. We were married in Darmstadt on the following Christmas Eve! Sometimes you know it is right! In a giant leap of faith, she came with me back to Chicago the following May and we had 50 years of marriage together until her death in 2014. In 2005, we moved to Nalf's hometown of Portland, Oregon, where I still reside 9 years after her passing away. It is obvious that Nalf and Laura are smitten and I would expect this to be a lasting ad loving relationship. After all, she did survive meeting the Nalf's family here in Portland!

I am German 🇩🇪 my wife is American 🇺🇸 her father is serving in military and I was working in american base as engineer so he introduced us to each other. 17 years together always and forever ♾🇩🇪❤️🇺🇸.

Ah the story we've all been waiting for 😂, good luck in the future ❤

I still think you two should do a collab with Feli and her American boyfriend (Ben). An American guy with a German girlfriend with a German girl with an American boyfriend all talking about their intercultural relationships.

as an americanized german, i'm laughing so hard about laura thinking a 30 minute drive is too far. lol!!

Like many great relationships, it's equal parts cool and scary how tenuous and relatively random your original connection was. Good stuff.

LOL I still remember that video where you sternly declared that it isn't good to have a (German) girlfriend here in Germany. You two look happy and I wish you all the best. Also, good wishes to Cody and Speedy!

Im from Yorkshire England but have a German girlfriend from Fürth! Life's full of surprises!

This is like a low budget Netflix documentary.. I feel like I am following a murder timeline..

I feel very old, that i met my wife in a bar when insta is the old fashion way. I must be Ancient

Wonderful Story :) Wishing you and Laura just the best, stay happy, healthy and appreciate each other ever day. Your story reminds me to the story of my Korean wife and myself (German). When I "met her online" on LinkedIn (no kidding) I lived and worked and Bangkok. We exchanged messages like for 3 months before we met in Korea the first time... and then flew over to Seoul every two weeks, similar to your hangout pattern ;) One year after, I moved to Seoul and here we are now... married since 5 years living in Spain!

Thank you for sharing your sweet story. You're such a cute couple💕! Wishing you all the best!

Now you can finally update the title! ;) Congratulations to both of you!!!🥳

"...the old fashoined way...Instagram..."😂😂😂

Thanks so much for sharing Nick and Laura. I’ve been looking forward to this story for months!

Loved this! Daughter from Portland Oregon, married a Schwabian and now live in Bavaria. Neu Ulm to be exact!

Thirty minutes?😂 My former wife lived 20+ minutes away from Schwäbisch Hall; thankfully I owned a beater VW to see her. ❤your story!

What a grumpy cat can do!

Nice couple, nice story, nice video! Thank you both for this insight into such a personal matter and good luck for the future 😊🌟.

Best of luck to the both of you.😊❤

Awww, that is beautiful Nick, she is definitely a keeper!!! I think I asked you last Christmas on Patreon how you met when you posted the videos of her coming to meet you and your family in Oregon!!! As far as cats go Leo is definitely the COOLEST!!! ✌👍🤠

Great story. I wish you the best of luck for the future. I myself (then 23) asked my girlfriend (then 19 years old) after 3 weeks if she would marry me. This year we are celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary with our two daughters (18 and 14). She is actually from Eisenach / Thuringia and I am from near Dortmund and we met in the middle. In Bernkastel Kues / Mosel, where we lived nearby at the time.

Thanks for sharing your experience. We have been following you for some time. If you need a place to crash we live about 18 minutes from Broadway Kino! Also, an old German compatriot of mine once philosophized, "in America, 200 years is a long time; In Germany, 200 kilometers is a long way". Perspective is everything. Bis Montag!

Ihr seid sooo süß! Ich wünsche euch beiden alles Glück dieser Welt! 🥰

So what I've learned from this, is that I should continue with the RU-vid thing at some point. Might result in a cross-country relationship. ;D

Nicholas..... you are a very lucky Man!! She looks and sounds like a very lovely Young Lady. I've been married for 41 years. a word of unwanted advice, make sure, that regardless of circumstances, she is first and foremost in your life.....! Everything else is expendable, your relationship is not!

Good choice my friend! 😊👍 Best wishes for you two! ❤

Alles Gute, cute couple! Nalf, Dein Deutsch wird super werden...😂

I live near Ramstein and requested tickets! I hope I get them! Moved to Germany in December and you and your channel have helped me get through it!

He was right - That Cat looked so damn Grumpy.

Good luck to you guys, alles Gute und viel Glück

Im happy for you guys, you make a damn good match. When Laura mentioned you ghosting her for a while my heart dropped a bit. You should consider yourself lucky she has a heart of gold and forgave you :D I also love how random and out of the blue your connection started and evolved into a relationship. Reminds me of my sweetheart (also American) and I. We both met on a discord server and right after finding out coincidentally during a few postings him and I have the same bday we instantly hit it off. You 2 seem to had the same initial spark between you guys. Wish you all the best!

somehow this reminds me of some scenes in "Harry and Sally", where couples report about how they met and started dating...

Always one for a romantic story. Love that Laura keeps her eyebrows natural. Wishing you die längste Beziehung! 🥰

Such a nice video and sweet story. You two make such a nice couple. Best wishes to you both! I'd love for my son to find a beautiful German girl too. We live in Texas but he is fascinated by all things German. Having NALF's luck in finding a German girlfriend would be icing on the cake! It's been a bit since I stopped by Laura's page but it reminded me to go read some more after watching the video. I was disappointed to see her page was no longer active. First time I tried it said it was set to private but now it says the website has expired. I do hope she will resume her posting. "Lawra" has a lovely way of writing and, of course, I always loved the stories and photos.

Cmon we need you to tell it in 9 seasons 😂

You two make me happy.

You guys are sooooo cute! I guess I’m gonna cry 😭 . Wish you the best always!!!!

Wow you were young in 2016. 😂

Happy for you guys!

Great video. Keep it up!

Romantic story, I wish you all the best!

Thats quite the odyssey and some big if not for the grumpy cat who knows topics. Awesome for you guys in any case

Lol re Insta being the old fashioned way. Does Fluffy look like Leo? Laura’s a gem. Her English is great. All the best!

awww, how nice! Happy for the both of you. Now, Nick, that you're getting settled....

Oh how wonderful that couples are still getting to know each other the old-fashioned way via Instagram these days! 🤣 Maybe I didn't get it right now, or you've already explained it in one of your other videos, but where does Laura live now, still in the Allgäu, is it a long-distance relationship?

Wait what?! You mentioned coming to Germany in 2016, and then the timeline disappeared. So how long was the relationship going on behind our backs before you chose to share Laura with us, you sneaky little devil?! 😂 Anyway, hope you're not keeping us in the dark while you secretly plan your wedding. 😉

Wonderful story. Laura uour English is fantastic. ❤️❤️❤️

The one thing that springs to mind when I think of Allgäu is: "Go Comets!" :P Also all the best to you two! :)

Oh yea, I watched Unicorn Town and really enjoyed it!

What a nice video 😊

Love that story. Laura is a very nice, intelligent young lady and you Mr. Fiori are a smart and serious, but fun guy. You are great for each other. Keep it up - Laura, he is a keeper, Mr. Fiori, she is definitely a keeper too. Good luck to both of you. You are real people, not phony like a lot of them today.

So all this time texting and texting and texting you really never TALKED ONCE (like on the phone?)? Crazy young folks 😅

Love this! Thanks for sharing your story. Where in Schwabish Hall can we purchase Unicorn merch? We will be visiting friends there in a couple weeks and your biggest fan in Canada, my 81 year old mother, would like us to pick up a hat or shirt. Thansk!

Really romantic story.🥰 You both are very sympathetic.😍 Thanks for sharing these moments.😀

All the best to you guys🎉

😂 All the best guys! ❤

So it's thanks to the cat, mostly 😄 And I still think you two should do a video speaking German only!!

aww the beginning of love is so romantic and exciting 😍🥰You are a great couple ❤❤👍👍

Was hoping to see more of an "Anatomy of a Love Story," similar to your video of Cody proposing to Speedy, and not a CNN account of your relationship. You two make a great couple and hoping to see more passion between you in the future.

Moral of the story: Guys, shoot your shot and send the story reaction to the cute girl and her grumpy cat.

Best of both worlds

What a sweet story! I met my husband on instagram as well xD

great story, I am so happy for you guys

Finally a USDE cultural channel, that uses a 21:9-ish resolution! Thank you for using almost all of my screen :D

Guess I’ll tell my son and daughter to get their tickets and my other daughter who lives in VT but over there visiting friends and mother with her fiancé to get their tickets too!

Easy! It's that yellow umbrella..... Right?😉 Ramstein? 🤣🤣 He's trying to go on base again......

Very sweet! 😍😍😍💖💖💖 you little lovebirds 🤩🤩

Great story of modern times. Btw, Nick, I hope you are aware daily how lucky you are that she has choosen you as her boyfriend. Wish you both best luck.

I remember when you made a video when codi got married, i wrote a comment like "now it is your turn", and i seems like fate has gone fast and the right way. Best wishes and i hope to see a video from your marriage 😉

She dragged you through the mountains that's how

A girl from Allgäu, oh man you got lucky. My parents were from there.

Looks like you are a good match - good luck!

So you are saying it could have practically been me? ... No sorry I'm joking 😂 But really lovely Story, you guys are so sweet 🤗☀️

Viel Glück zusammen!

love this video - ihr seid so ein power couple 🙂

A lovely couple!😊❤

Like the intro of Mr. and Mrs. Smith😅

So apart from Albert Einstein, Marlene Dietrich, the Ulmer Münster, German Basketball Champions etc Ulm has become even more famous now thanks to Nick and Laura 😁.

How nice!

So goes live.

I met my German girl in a Berlin sauna.

Haha you guys definitely took your time. But you're a cute couple :)

Nalf: Wanna meet for the first time with me......and my parents. Laura: Nah 30 minutes is too far a drive. 🤣

Birds and the Bees... The German Version

So sweet! 😊

You first met in my home town! 😉

sweet story all the best to you

Danke!

When is wedding?

Ok so I used the link to reserve a ticket for myself to Unicorn Town but there is no confirmation of reservation, no email, no code to scan how am I supposed to verify when I get there?

Ngl I was wondering if one day you would surprise us with a boyfriend instead. Anyway, I wish you two the best

She is a keeper

Adorbs

So bloody wonderful and cute, you two. ❤

I am waiting for Balf. 😂

really funny story!

Finally. I wanted to know the whole time.

Bro, i am from Allgäu - keep us some girls!

Funny little story about social media and a cool Mädel from Allgäu.
